    Howdy Ermal and all,


    I haven't been in touch lately, because I've been in the midst of transition. I accepted the position of Senior Pastor at a church in Johnstown, PA (you know, the big flood). I am still working my detective/Sgt position at Altoona Police Department through the end of the year. I'll be burning both ends of the candle until January 2004. But, it's worth it. The boys are enrolled in the new school district. Things are going well. We haven't done a Lone Ranger show since January. But, I still practice on occasion. I'm sure we'll be back in the saddle soon.


    Adios,
    Rob

    Rob,


    Howdy! Glad to have another member of the DHC touching base and posting here!


    Welcome to the John Wayne message board.


    With such a busy life, between jobs as you are, I guess you won't have too much time to check this place out, but I hope you will when things settle down for you.


    There are pages and pages of topics posted here for your reading pleasure, with plenty of info about the Duke, plus plenty of thoughts and opinions from a world wide cross section of cowboy/Duke fans (from the UK, Denmark, Germany, Switzerland, Australia, Canada, and across the US - there may be others, but those are those are the ones I can think of off the top of my head).


    Hope to meet you at a DHC event in the future. ;)

    Hello to everyone,especially Rob as the Lone Ranger.Your post really struck me ,and close to home because I am new here and I only live 25 miles from you in Blairsville,Pennsylvania.I was in Johnstown last week as a matter of fact.Do you dress up as the Lone Ranger and go to shows?This week end in DuBois,Penna.is the Tom Mix festival.Duke started out in 1926 as a prop boy on The great K and A and the last horse Duke touched on film was a t.v.special in 78 where he led a horse that was in silver saddle that looked like Tony and Duke spoke about Tom Mix .I don't know if the imdB lists that special or not,but I viewed it at that time.Tom Mix days will have men dressed as Tom and Duke and Lash and Roy and is a lot of fun.I was raised in Indiana,Pa.home of Jimmy Stewart and I got to talk to Jimmy a couple of times.Johnstown is in Cambria county and Cambria county was the home of Charly Bronson.I also saw a special from 1977 and Charlie and Duke were both their at an awards show.Someone somewhere in the over 300 members of this board has had to have seen it.Charly stated that he had never met Mr.Wayne before,but to him the word MACHO!meant John Wayne.Charly then went over and shook Duke's hand.Duke acted kind of embarassed and said something like I don't even know what macho means.Funny that after 26 years in the buisness that Bronson had never met Duke,but then mebbe not for Charly was a notorious anti social loner.His family meant everything but he didn't socialise much.Well Rob,being half an hour away,I don't think it will take 26 years for us to meet.Take care!

    Congratulations, Rob. All our best to you and your family. You've got your work cut out for you. Don't expect it to get any too east come Jan. 4th. If you want something done, ask the person who's the busiest - Rob.


    How's your nurse-wife doing? Stay in touch. Wish you were here in Branson. Come on down sometime.


    Talk atcha later.


    Always, Ermal and Betty
